Rural Show Special: High-performance corn hybrids on producers’ radar

With the potential to double its agricultural capacity, without having to significantly expand arable areas, due to investments in genetic improvement, biotechnology and new management techniques, Brazil is already seen as one of the main responsible for global food security in the future.

Aware that hybrids that are increasingly productive, but also resistant to climatic conditions and pressure from pests and diseases, will be necessary to offer productivity with quality and sustainability, producers will be gathered at one of the biggest events in the agribusiness world, ShowRural Coopavel, in search of the most innovative and technological in the field.

At the event, which runs until February 7 in Cascavel, Paraná, the results of launches in high-performance corn hybrids will be highlighted. Forseed presents the super early FS403 and the early FS564, FS575, FS670.

For those investing in whole-plant silage and wet grains, hybrids such as the FS533 will be available, with a wide cutting window and adaptation to medium and high fertility soils, and the FS620 which, in 2019, achieved a performance of over 80 tons per hectare and was highlighted in the 11th ABC Foundation Corn Silage Competition, in Campos Gerais, one of the most technologically advanced dairy regions in the country.

“Brazilian agribusiness is exponential. Until 2050, there will still be many challenges to supplying the domestic and foreign markets, but we have continually invested in research and technology with the aim of supporting producers to seek consistent and sustainable results, increasing their business and strengthening the entire value chain” , says Forseed’s Marketing leader, Fabiano Vieira Romero.

The materials presented at the event by the brand feature the new PowerCore Ultra technology, as well as the renowned PowerCore, for pest control and weed management, as well as Cruiser and FortenzaDuo industrial seed treatment.
